Disney Cruise Line is going Digital 3D

Disney Cruise Lines is preparing to upgrade their onboard theaters to digital 3D projection. It is kicking off the project with a screening of its animated movie “Bolt” Nov. 20 on the Disney Wonder out of Port Canaveral.

By early 2009, Disney also plans to supplement the 3D movies with theatrical effects such as lasers, fog, streamers and stage lighting.

Disney has been installing the new equipment on its two ocean liners without taking them out of service.

Could some of the great, golden-oldie-but-goody classics such as West Side Story, Dr. Zhivago, Lawrence of Arabia, to name afew, be re-printed, cleaned up , remastered and put on digital 3D projection? Just curious, because that might be interesting.
